Without hesitation, a desperate Passaris took to social media to call for help from Interior CS Fred Matiang’i as well as the police.
She claimed that the thugs were demanding money from them and had taken charge of their vehicle’s key.
“@PoliceKE@CMatiangiour convoy under attack. We are in Westlands near Deepsea. Help. The thugs have taken our truck keys and are demanding money to give back our keys. We are stranded inside the truck. We know the thugs. They have broken our windscreen. Help,” Passaris wrote.

Some of her followers sympathized with her as others questioned how she knew the thugs as others suggested that the chaos had been stage managed.
“Pole kwa hayo… But how do you know the thugs??? Any relationship? Anyway, if it’s true pole sana, But again when the county government demolished hustler’s Houses and business you went silence, ooh sorry, kumbe maskini Hana lake. Sorry for that anyway,” Wallnicho said.
